HX711
I have received quite a few inquries about the HX711 work that I have done. The original user space code is gone so I thought I would post the HX711 driver itself.
The user needs to specify two pins to / from HX711:
//hardware configuration
#define HX711DIN_PORT PINB //an input port from HX711 to the mcu
#define HX711DIN_DDR DDRB
#define HX711DIN (1<<2)
#define HX711SCK_PORT PORTB //output port from the mcu to HX711
#define HX711SCK_DDR DDRB
#define HX711SCK (1<<3)
//end hardware configuration
The routines fall into three categories:
-
initialization, done by calling hx711_init();
-
reading HX711 status: hx711_busy();
-
reading from hx711, Channel A (128x and 64x gain) and Channel B (64x gain), done by calling hx711_readA128()/hx711_readA64() and hx711_readB64(), respectively.
The user will need to provide a set of GPIO routines to operate the pins. You can see my implement of GPIO functions here as well.
